Comedians are not born with any special powers they are also ordinary people like everyone else. So same rules, regulations, and laws apply to them just as they do to any citizen. Freedom of expression doesn’t mean freedom from accountability. When lines are crossed, there will be consequences whether an apology or legal action. So it’s important to understand the limits and stay within them.

A lot of Indians working in the West are the first in their bloodline to have made it out of generational poverty. They grew up in remote distant villages far away from the influences of globalization. Now that they are somewhat affluent they bring over their parents to show them around Europe. This is often a matter of immense pride for the family: a sign that they have arrived on the world stage and can afford to do things their forefathers couldn’t have imagined in their wildest dreams. These parents often come from rural areas as poor as sub Saharan Africa. They do not at all understand Western sensibilities, have a completely different sense of what is polite and what is not and are usually extremely terrified and overwhelmed by a world that feels alien. I understand that you find them inconvenient and perhaps even grating. I get it. Their aesthetics stand out. They lack polish and seem out of place in glitzy European airports. Although the glitzy part is increasingly becoming contentious. I sense the condescension in your tweet but remember at the end of the day these people are spending money in Europe, on hotels, food, and souvenirs. They are giving more than they take and it is important to see them as equals and not lesser beings.

I just stumbled across this photo of the 1984 West Indians on their tour of England. That’s really quite a team!
